I have taught English as a Foreign Language for several years. My students come from all over the world, are usually college-age and range from beginner to advanced levels in their English ability. I have taught grammar, speech, including public speaking, pronunciation, reading, writing, including academic writing and vocabulary
My grammar classes have focused on grammatical structures, including subject-verb agreement, verb tenses, modal verbs, noun, adjective and adverb clauses, conditional sentences, prepositions, articles and proper pronoun/antecedent agreement
My reading and writing classes have focused on enhancing vocabulary and comprehension skills using a variety of techniques and texts, and developing writing skills from basic sentences to research papers.
I have developed curricula for additional classes in dramatic reading, current events, vocabulary, novels, creative writing and many other topics of interest to my students.
I have a wonderful relationship with students from every part of the world; many of them are still in touch with me.
